Standard accomodations

It appears that this room has been cleaned and re-painted. Not shown are the flush toilet, central heating, and skylight that were innovations for prison cells. During this time the White House and it's new occupant, President Andrew Jackson, did not have a flush toilet, and heat was provided by coal burning stoves. This information is from the Eastern State Penitentiary website.

Spare accommodations. I'm sure that there are worse in many parts of the world.
